I care about truth, creativity, nuance, and the human condition.
Doing something a bit new. A substack! Here is my first post...some unfiltered thoughts on chatbots. open.substack.com/pub/alwaysco...

In Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (arguably one of the best anime in a very long time), demons deceive through the use of human-like language. Their words evoke empathy from humans without knowing what empathy is themselves. I can't help thinking about modern AI each time I rewatch the anime.
30.06.2025 16:43 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Thanks, @grimace14.bsky.social There would have to be a mathematical model showing this could explain the discrepancy. Would this effect likely have changed over the past four years across many counties? Would this consistently favor only higher turnouts for top of the ballot republican votes?

What do you think of the election data analysis by @electiontruth.bsky.social ? From a political standpoint, what could explain what they are seeing?
31.01.2025 05:19 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Is independent media enough, though? Or do we need better (grassroots?) means for channeling information to the masses? Perhaps this Bluesky ecosystem is a start, but I feel like something else is needed. Like a trend in how we label and share stories.
25.01.2025 23:46 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Okay, brainstorming some more on this, but if we tagged news content with information about its newsworthiness, I think it could significantly help us swim through all of the noise: impact, urgency, proximity, prominence, and novelty. #ShapeOurOwnMedia
25.01.2025 21:01 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0News bias is not just in how events are reported but also in what is being reported. When you watch a news stream or look at news from an algorithm, someone or something else is dictating what is important.
25.01.2025 18:00 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Do you think we can start coming up with hashtags to indicate the reason why certain news is newsworthy? People can then sort content based on the ways in which certain newsworthy events are newsworthy.
24.01.2025 21:14 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0These seem like great book recommendations. I have gone through N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy and Octavia Butler's Dawn multiple times.
22.01.2025 16:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Like, if something is newsworthy, are there different types of properties that make something newsworthy? What kind of effect does it have on the world? Did someone say something, do something? What is the scale and the context?
21.01.2025 18:24 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0If there are certain things in the news that are more like distractions and others with deeper consequences, I feel like we need a good taxonomy or system to distinguish different types of newsworthy events. Unsure what exactly this looks like for the moment.

Udon noodle soup.
Made udon noodle soup for dinner last night. The meat at the top is stir fried pork and it is garnished with green onion, yuzu zest, and miyoga. #γγ©γγ#udon #dinner
21.01.2025 16:46 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Also, if it really had logical elements then it could be embedded into smart contracts and self executing items would actually be self executingβ¦.technical details aside.
21.01.2025 04:43 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Less ambiguous laws, perhaps written in logic and with explicit intentional outcomes.
21.01.2025 04:36 β π 3 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0Many people have lost faith in the mainstream media. If you truly believe that then we must learn and teach journalistic processes and integrity, critical thinking, and and respect for truth and the human condition.

Even more, it is federated, meaning there is no equivalent of Zuck and there cannot be:

Meta's decision to get rid of fact-checking is INSANE. Real fact-checking goes deep into primary sources, tracking down the origination of claims and their context. Community notes fail this, relying too much on secondary sources and political bias.

The fight of Vaatu and Rava, from The Legend of Korra.
I keep thinking about the great spirits from The Legend of Korra. There is something very poetic about the ability of light to emerge from the darkness itself.
